1.4 GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS
Ensure the implement is correctly and securely attached to the operating vehicle.
NEVER attach to a tractor which would be rendered unstable when the implement is
operated at its full capacity. Take note of the maximum load permissible on linkage arms.
Take extra care when operating machinery on sloping ground. NEVER operate on ground
where there is a risk of the tractor becoming unstable.
When detaching the implement from the tractor always ensure that it is stable and safely
positioned on a level surface.
The attaching and detaching of the implement to a tractor must be carried out by only one
operator. There should not be any other people in the vicinity of the implement or in the
tractor.
Before operation make yourself familiar with all elements and controls of the machine as well
as their functions.
Before operation inspect the area around you. Keep children away. All visitors and
unauthorised persons should be kept well away from work area.
Under NO circumstances should anyone, authorised or otherwise attempt to use the timber
grapple as a means of personal transport. It is designed as specialist purpose farm implement
and is unsuitable for the safe transportation of passengers. NEVER allow anyone especially
children to travel anywhere between the tractor and an implement.
ENSURE the implement does not restrict the forward vision or important sightlines of the
operator if mounted on the front of the tractor.
ENSURE that the operator is aware of the overhang when the implement is mounted on the
front of the tractor. EXTREME CAUTION must be taken when emerging onto the public roads.
NEVER attempt to move this implement manually.
To ensure stability the Log Grab/Site Pro should be stored in a safe position, supported to
prevent it being knocked over.
If the implement is to be transported on a trailer then it should be securely attached using
suitable restraints.
